EU Label Compliance — GPSR product labels for Amazon, Etsy & eBay sellers

200 yoga mats. Nine days sitting in an EU warehouse. All because of one line that wasn't on my label: the EU responsible person.

Since 13 December 2024, every consumer product sold in the EU needs someone established in the EU named on it. Most sellers find out in one of three ways:

A · A shipment held at customs, like mine
B · A marketplace listing suddenly blocked
C · A buyer asking who to contact in Europe

Which one happened to you? Write A, B or C in the comments and I'll answer you personally.

And send this to whoever prints your labels. One extra line before printing is cheaper than nine days in a warehouse.

If you change that person mid-season, every unit already printed carries incorrect mandatory information — a compliance failure that marketplace reviewers and market surveillance authorities both act on. A permanent code printed on the label and pointing to a live public record lets you update the responsible person's details without reprinting a single unit.▶ Watch the video

That's illegal.If you sell consumer goods in the EU and are not established there, Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2023/988 and Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 both require a named economic operator with a European postal address on the product, its packaging, or an accompanying document. Neither regulation exempts small sellers, low-volume shipments, or marketplace listings. The responsible person's name and address must be printed and legible — a QR code alone does not satisfy the obligation.▶ Watch the video

A label missing any of these blocks is non-compliant, and marketplaces including Amazon suspend listings on that basis alone. EU Label Compliance issues the certificate immediately and delivers print-ready artwork in all 24 EU official languages the same day orders are placed before 15:00 CET.▶ Watch the video

Getting these blocks wrong after a product has shipped generates costs — rush reprints, rush translations, storage fees during listing suspensions — that typically exceed the cost of correct artwork ordered before the first shipment.▶ Watch the video
